Freebie: Printable ‘prewashed’ labels to show which fabrics are ready to use

November 8, 2016 by Anne Weaver

If I’m sewing clothing, or anything else that will get washed, I always always always prewash my fabric before sewing it. In a perfect world, I’d prewash all of my fabric before it went into the stash, but this is most certainly not a perfect world and I have to ask myself, “Did I prewash that?” every time I pull fabric from my stash. If it’s not obvious from fraying, I’ll end up washing it again – just to be sure. But now I’ve got printable labels for my stash fabrics that will let me know if it’s washed and ready to go, and I’ve got them as a free download on my personal blog, Orange Bettie.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
